Book of Proverbs (plus bonus proverbs) | Part 2
Continuing on from my introduction post with the Book of Proverbs written by King Solomon the son of King David... Most people have heard of the name King Solomon and quite rightly too. The bible tells us he was at the time (I don't know if it still applies today) the wisest among all men, "And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five." 1 Kings 4:32
The Rewards of Wisdom:
1 My son, do not forget my teaching,
But let your heart keep my commandments;
2 For length of days and years of life
And peace they will add to you.
3 Do not let kindness and truth leave you;
Bind them around your neck,
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 So you will find favor and good repute
In the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:1-6
Proverbs of King Solomon
'Do not plot harm against your neighbor,
who lives trustfully near you.'
(Pro 3:29)
'My son, do not reject the discipline of the Lord
Or loathe His reproof,
12 For whom the Lord loves He reproves,
Even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.'
(Pro 3:11-12)
'How blessed is the man who finds wisdom
And the man who gains understanding.
14 For her profit is better than the profit of silver
And her gain better than fine gold.'
(Pro 3:13-14)
My own
'He who cares for the poor cares for his own soul.'
'A breaking wave and a man quick to anger are both alike, in that unless the destructive behaviour is removed from the body altogether it will only keep repeating.'
'Impatience is a nuisance, patience is a virtue.'
